1
Spray the floor vase with one coat of primer. Make sure to do this outside, and don't forget to wear a breathing mask.
Mix chalk paint with baking soda. Once the paint has enough texture and is not too dry, start painting it onto the vase.
2
Mix up some of the lighter chalk paint with some baking soda. Randomly brush on the second color to create an uneven texture.
3
Scrunch up a rag and dip it into the white paint. Dab some of the paint onto a piece of cardboard first. Dab the scrunched rag randomly all over the vase.
4
Lastly, dab dark wax onto the textured vase. Use a circular motion to spread the wax and give it a smudged look.
